The rumour was closure of the Aer Lingus (Ireland) Belfast pilot base. No speculation about dropping the route.
Just a potential change of AOC.
Aer Lingus (UK) is a separate subsidiary, so there wouldn’t be an automatic transfer of the local pilots, unless of course they want to transfer over and have/are prepared to get a UK license.
